Luckily the UK is not known for its earthquakes, although we did have a 2.5 a
month ago. The previous one was about 15 years ago and rated about 2 or less.
If I lived in SF I would move away. I have been looking at emigrating to the
US for some time now and have ruled out all areas such as SF because of the
impending natural disaster risks associated with them.

Cryonics, Stem cell storage etc. seem wise precautions. Like most things it
would depend on the cost.
